A pleasant surprise. Recently, I saw Dan B for a color boost(highlights interspersed with low lights) and a hair cut, of which I was in dire need. For reasons too weird to recount here in great detail(my once trusty and reliable hair stylist went AWOL at his last salon and has seemingly disappeared into thin air), I checked out Pure Bliss on a whim and was led to Dan B by the guy answering the phone. I knew immediately that this was going to go one of two distinct ways: either it was going to turn into a colossal train wreck, a definite«don’t» that I would be talking about for years to come or I was going to leave a satisfied customer with a new stylist. Luckily for me, it turned out to be a case of the latter and not the former. When it comes to salons, there usually is no grey area in my book. You either love it or hate it. Knowing next to nothing about Dan when I booked this appointment, I had reservations and nearly cancelled before heading over to the salon to let him work his wonders with my hair. I’m not going to lie– Dan was great. He was pleasant, funny and easy to work with. He came up with great suggestions and went through a thorough consultation with me before starting on my hair. He asked me very specific questions about what I liked, didn’t like, how I wear my hair, what products I use on it, etc before coming up with a game plan of how to tackle my naturally curly, thick hair that I usually straighten. Somehow, I knew the moment that I plopped down into Dan’s stylist chair that everything was going to turn out okay and it did. He listened, took his time and rechecked his work when he was done to ensure I left with the best cut and color possible– and I didn’t hate the way he styled it like I do with most hair stylists. In the end, I was very pleased with the final product and anyone that knows me is well aware of how fussy I am when it comes to my hair. Dan did a great job, was professional and easy-going and he even threw in a free, moisturizing hand massage for the hell of it! My hair looked great, I loved the sexy low lights mixed in my ash blonde base color and, truth be told, my hair looks better than it has in months. My husband was pretty impressed with how well it turned out(he’s picky about his hair as well) and hasn’t stop talking about it since. Now, he’s booked an appointment with Dan as well. As for the salon itself, it’s located in a weird little hodgepodge of office suites in Gateway Centre, making it seem a bit out of place and slightly hard to find, but I don’t really care about that. Once inside, the ambiance is very relaxing and the staff is friendly and outgoing. Now for the price– cheap, it was not. I received a quote over the phone for color services and it was higher than what I was expecting by about $ 30-$ 40(maybe that hand massage wasn’t free after all). That said, I still left very pleased and transformed into a repeat customer. Despite the slightly higher price involved(I paid $ 205, including the purchase of a styling product before walking out the door), it was a quality experience.

Just went for my first Brazilian and it was great. I was nervous, but Haley was super sweet and professional. She made me feel at ease and did a great job. Bonus, the pain was minimal. The salon is very beautiful as well! I definitely recommend Haley and Pure Bliss to anyone in the Flint area.

Love this place! I been to tons of nail salons and found this one very satisfied! And they speak English!!!(Joking) but personally I think it was a better experience then going to a Chinese nail salon
